[QUOTE="Brad Quarnberg, post: 2936315, member: 107866"] As has been mentioned, Caribou are not generally hard to kill. In my experience if you are hunting in an area with a lot of open tundra and not much cover, the shots can be long so a couple of things I recommend: take a gun you are comfortable shooting and practice out to 500 yards or longer if you can. Make sure you know the energy at the given distance you determine is your max is still sufficient to kill, and practice as much as you can from various shooting positions. I carry trekking poles with me and find they are very good shooting sticks if cross the wrist straps over the handle on the opposite pole and they are a huge help with heavy loads, especially going downhill. I don't carry a bipod anymore since I use my poles. [/QUOTE]
